Topic: Windows 11 Problems
I have a problem with my DAC on Windows 11 (windows drivers). In wasapi exclusive mode only MusicBee works and switching sample rates. Other programs like Foobar, Squezelite-X do not play music properly. Foobar in exclusive mode displays Unrecoverable playback error: Unsupported stream format. Squeezelite only works in shared mode so everything is played in 44100 mode or whatever is currently set in windows. After installing the ASIO drivers, neither foobar nor MusicBee works (choping, distorted sound) and yes I tried different buffer values for different sample rates in ASIO control panel. Squeezelite-X (ASIO) after playing a file and stopping it for a while it starts playing until you change the sample rate. But only for lower sample rates like (176k) For higher sample rates above 176k this trick not working.This is a disappointing behavior because I had several DACs at home: AudioQuest Dragonfly Red, Black, Topping E30, FiiO K7 Pro and none of them had such problems. Here we have 1 DAC at the price of the others and it can't handle something as simple as automatic sample rate change and working ASIO drivers. Plus known problems with tidal and other streaming service programs. DAC has latest firmware.
